Answer this question truthfully
### Question: What to expect if I have Chikungunya  (Outlook/Prognosis)?
### Response: Often symptoms in infected individuals are mild and the infection may go unrecognized, or be misdiagnosed in areas where dengue occurs. Most patients recover fully, but in some cases joint pain may persist for several months, or even years. Once a person has been infected, he or she is likely to be protected from future infections.
